ORBIS is a novel resource for the study of the ancient world.
This page hosts academic work that has been inspired and
supported by the model.
The Stanford Geospatial Network Model of the Roman World
reconstructs the time cost and financial expense associated
with a wide range of different types of travel in antiquity.
The model is based on a simplified version of the giant network
of cities, roads, rivers and sea lanes that framed movement across
the Roman Empire. It broadly reflects conditions around 200 CE but
also covers a few sites and roads created in late antiquity.

MIT Media Lab project PantheonYou can discover who the most famous people from modern-day
nations are, or browse the most influential people in a number of
categories – politicians, composers, scientists, or pretty much anything.
The site ranks the most influential people in history and provides information
about them and as well as insight into cultural influences.
To really oversimplify, this project uses Wikipedia links to determine who the
most influential people in history are (read the full methodology here).
